Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gruters made an impassioned plea to Fox Business viewers Friday to visit the GOP’s official website over fears of what a midterm election loss could mean for President Donald Trump.
Speaking with Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo, Gruters warned the network’s viewers that were Democrats to regain control of Congress, Trump’s presidency could soon be in jeopardy.
“They’re gonna have investigations, they’re gonna obstruct, they’re gonna impeach – it’s gonna be total chaos!” Gruters warned. “They don’t want to move the country forward, Trump derangement syndrome is real, America derangement syndrome is real. We have to win! And so we need everybody to go to GOP.com, give us your time and treasure.”
The latest polling data shows Democrats heading into the midterm elections with a strong advantage as Trump’s favorability among Americans reaches historic lows. A recent Emerson College poll showed Democrats with a 10-point lead among likely voters, which according to MS NOW, suggests the party could “pick up 15 to 25 seats for a more robust majority.”
Polling data has also suggested Democrats have a growing chance at taking back control of the Senate, something analysts once thought to be near-impossible. At the very least, Democrats are seen as having a “plausible path to Senate majority,” MS NOW reported, though it remains uncertain.
Gruters also took aim at the progressive candidates who had recently won Democratic primary elections across the country, victories that some analysts have described as the Democratic Party’s equivalent to the conservative Tea Party movement, the movement that saw far-right fiscal conservatives oust multiple GOP incumbents with significant backing from billionaires Charles and David Koch.
“We have to elect these MAGA warriors across the country to defeat these socialists that are being elected on the left,” Gruters continued. “We can do it, but we need everybody’s help.”
RNC Chair Joe Gruters: "We saw what happens when Democrats can control, like the shutdown. They're gonna have investigations, they're gonna obstruct, they're gonna impeach, it's gonna be total chaos.
